The aquila was something reserved only as the highest honour in the Crusade or some such. Come the 40k days everyone's covered in a million of 'em. Just something I remember reading in a novel where a Horus Heresy era Dark Angel sees a regular marine with his bling and facepalms a little.

**BrookM**

Only the Emperor's Children were allowed to wear the Aquila on their armour at the outset of the Crusade.

**Bronzefists42**

It depends. Many Mk 2 armor marks have the aquila worked in somewhere.

The Emperor's Children earned the right to display it on their chests prominently.

**Formosa**

Mk7 armour was used during the heresy so a few marines rocking it wouldn't be out of place, as far as I know this has never been retconned

**STC_LogisEngine**

Mk7 "aquila" pattern powerarmour was NOT in production during the Heresy. it was put into production after the Scouring.

The latest mark of power armour at the time if the Isstvan Drop Site Massacre was the Mk6 "Corvus" Pattern that had only been issued in limited numbers for field-testing with the XIXth Legion.

Ofc, the XXth Legion did field large numbers of their own "In House" production variant of the Mk6, in all accounts a superior piece of wargear compared to the Mars-produced pattern, but extant this one instance the Legions do not field any later marks of warplate during the heresy than the Mk4 "Maximus" plate.

While the final battle for Mars was underway, the Imperium realised the planet would eventually be lost. Armour development teams were transferred to Earth to continue, incorporating their latest work into the armour type that would become Mark 7. As Mars fell to Horus, the new armour began reaching the Space Marines on Terra and Luna.

**Bronzefists42**

If Mark 7 armor was being produced on Mars than it can be assumed that the traitor Legions gained access to it when they captured the planet.

Well Hello

**Nicky J**

also, first part of the jigsaw:

any ideas?
scenic base by the look of it - another primarch?

**zedmeister**

Doubt it's a primarch. Probably a Character Series bod though. Looks like Cataphractii armour...

**Undead_Love-Machine**

The SA Flamer Section look very cool, but isn't having ten Flamers in a squad a bit overkill?

Pfft. No such thing as overkill in 40K lol. Cleanse and burn the traitors!

Can't see the cataphracii myself, looks more like standard marine size shoulder pads to me...?
Werent there preview pics of argel tel shown off somewhere a while back...?

As an ork player, I can assure you that is not the case, at least not all in an open topped transport.

No, that was (most likely) Sevatar:

But I don't think that's him?

Spoiler:

Oh yeah, that was the guy I was thinking of, my bad.
But no, that doesn't look like it's him in the jigsaw. Hmm

**Kosake**

There are some edgy somethings, to left corner. Maybe stylized scales. Maybe Alpharius..?

**Kanluwen**

The hard edges and the eagle wing are making me think Custodes.

**e.earnshaw**

is this from the fw news letter which I cant subscribe to because it wants to email it to my google+ account whose password I cant remember.

**BrookM**

That squad of Veletaris.. Ohohohohoho.

Not even playing 30k, but I needs.

Only downside I'm seeing is the pain in the arse that those hoses are going to be when assembling them.

**angelofvengeance**

Could be lightning claws on the left there? Possibly wings?

**warboss**

The upper left looks like mechanical wings and possibly an exhaust. Corax?

**Nyoom**

I'm thinking corax, top left looks like a jump pack to me..

**Kirasu**

I hope it's another Contemptor variant..but on a scenic base for a twist.

**Desubot**

Not Dorn? Meh.

**Tannhauser42**

Looks like Forgeworld got smart this year and didn't just name the picture in a way where we could type in the next number and see the next pic.

Another Primarch would be nifty.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Is that a lightning claw in the top left? Could it be... Corax?

**Alpharius**

Not saying it isn't Corax, but where the heck are you seeing a Lightning Claw?

**sierra 1247**

I'm guessing it'll be one of the characters, but I don't think it's a Primarch sadly. And I'm doubting it's Argel Tal, no matter how much I want it.

**Marshal Loss**

My bet is Alexis Pollux
